Hapily minding my own business and overtaking a mercedes on a Suffolk A road when this suicidal pigeon shoots out of a hedge.
No chance of a swerve as a merc is a tad expensive to hit and the hedge had trees in it, so we collided with a loud thump and an explosion of feathers
Blood & gore all over the windscreen & I then noticed that there was a head flapping above the scoop
Had to pull over as I was getting odd looks from oncoming cars, but then it was a complete and utter barsteward to pull out from inside the scoop LOL
When it did, more blood and feathers everywhere...
Anyhow, here are a couple of pics of the "victim". It's going to take me ages to clean up!
View from inside the car after windscreen cleaned lol

In position

After removal

I can't see any damage to the RA though so that's a mercy

Quality!!
I hit a small deer in my old LC.. It had been rotting nicely on the M11 for a while and car in front scooped it up, sent it flying spinning through air and it promptly exploded on my car covering it in blood, guts, brains and deer faeces!

The camera angle doesnt really give much of an indication of the speed they were travelling, until all of a sudden the bird went whoosh *thud*

Hmm
Obviously my day for road kill as just driving back down the lane to my house and 2 bunnies sitting in the evening sun. One disappears into the hedge but the other runs straight AT the car
Disappears under the front and then there was that "thump" you get when you know its toast
